reconquers
Seizes territory again
Reconquers means to conquer again—to retake territory, power, or control that was previously held and then lost.
A nation reconquers land seized by invaders; a recovering addict reconquers sobriety after relapse.
Spain reconquered the Iberian Peninsula from the Moors over several centuries.
The word implies restoration of a former state through effort or force.
